Electrical Certifications

Electrical installations break down over time and need regular testing and inspections, sometimes followed by necessary remedial work, to maintain safety and operation. We provide an array of certifications to suit your requirements. All of our work carried out is certificated and supported by the NAPIT competent persons scheme.

Below are the certificates we can produce:

‍

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)

This type of electrical testing and inspection, specifies whether or not the electrical installation you have is compliant with electrical regulations BS7671. This is for Landlords, who have tenants in rented properties or if you are a homeowner wanting to confirm the safety of your own electrical installation. 

‍

Recent legislation

From the 1st June 2020, regulations in England now declare that all Landlords in the private rental market, must produce an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) at intervals of no more than 5 years. 

If the results of the report are unsatisfactory, the Landlord has 28 days to carry out the remedial work to produce a satisfactory EICR. Following the remedial work, an electrical installation certificate or minor works certificate will be produced, to confirm the electrical safety of the property. Large penalties of up £30,000 could be issused to Landlords, for non-compliance.

This may sound daunting, but this goes to show the paramount of electrical safety.

‍

Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) & Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC)

All brand new electrical circuits installed in residential or commercial properties are certificated with an EIC and more minor works (alterations) are covered by an MEIWC as standard.

‍

PORTABLE APPLIANCE TESTING (PAT TESTING)

If you are having members of the public in your property, whether it be residential, or commercial, we can test and certificate all portable electrical appliances. Frequency of testing is recommended annually, to ensure safety of all electrical appliances, preventing harm to users and fulfilling insurance requirements.
